    Oh man, so many good examples of this.

    See the photo recognition software and smartwatch sensors that don’t work as well for black people because no one thought to make sure black people were adequately represented in the test data.

    Or the decades of medical research based on only male mice because female mice have different hormone levels that introduce more variability (just like female humans) and that’s like, just too much work to deal with and it’s easier to assume the female body responds to medications the same way the male body does.
